A tad curious... having the same issue here but not nearly as pronounced. I tried double clutching and the problem diminished greatly. I guess this gives the trans time to match speeds and synchronize. I know this isnt the answer nor should it be. I wonder if the double clutching will minimize or stop your grinding until you can get it properly fixed.
